HDPE pipe can be used for drinking water transportation. HDPE pipe is a pipe made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is regarded as a replacement product for traditional steel pipes and polyvinyl chloride drinking water pipes.
Advantages of HDPE pipe for drinking water transportation
1. Material safety: HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a thermoplastic with high density, high toughness and good chemical stability. These characteristics ensure the safety of HDPE Water Supply Pipe in drinking water systems.
2. Corrosion resistance: HDPE pipe has very little effect on water quality and will not produce chemical reactions due to changes in water quality. It has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemicals, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the water supply system.
3. Inner wall smoothness: The inner wall of HDPE pipe is smooth and not easy to produce scale and attachment. This reduces flow resistance and improves the water delivery efficiency of the water supply system. At the same time, the smooth inner wall can also reduce the possibility of bacterial growth and ensure water quality safety.
4. Long service life: HDPE pipe has a long service life due to its high strength and impact resistance. It can withstand external pressure and impact, is not easy to break or deform, reduces the frequency of repairing and replacing pipes, and reduces operating costs.
5. Environmental protection: HDPE pipe is a recyclable material with low carbon emissions. Compared with traditional metal pipes, it can reduce the consumption of natural resources and environmental pollution, and meet the requirements of sustainable development.
6. Wide application: HDPE pipes are widely used in water supply systems, including urban tap water supply, rural water supply, industrial water supply and other fields. Especially in urban tap water supply, HDPE pipes can be used for trunk pipes, branch pipes indoor water supply pipes, etc., to provide safe and reliable drinking water for urban residents.
Development of HDPE pipes
HDPE pipes can be divided into PE80 Pipe, PE100 Pipes, and PE100RC Pipe. Since 1955, HDPE pipes in all developed countries have been used in pressurized water projects and today’s old concrete. HDPE pipes have replaced old structures in many government procurement drinking water projects.
Application of HDPE pipes in water supply
1. Urban water supply system
HDPE pipes are widely used in urban water supply systems to transport various water resources such as drinking water and industrial water to ensure the daily life and production needs of urban residents.
2. Underground water pipelines
Due to the excellent pressure resistance and corrosion resistance of HDPE pipes, they are also often used in the construction and maintenance of underground water pipelines to ensure the safety and stability of water sources.
